10. Luke Schenn

The young d-man is one of most tenured players on the current Maple Leafs' roster. He has progressed and matured on the ice over the last few years, and his play of late has made him an integral part of the team's resurgence this season.

Schenn is a solid defender and has helped the blue line on a team that lacked depth in that department over the last decade.

8. Tomas Kaberle

While his timid style of play may have aggravated some fans, it's tough to deny the skill that Tomas Kaberle possesses.

He was a great skater and passer and was a solid defenseman.

Kaberle was a member of the Leafs for more than a decade and a consistent member of the top defenders on the club. He was also a rather consistent scorer, posting at least 30 points in every season he played for Toronto, excluding his rookie year.

3. Ed Belfour

Before Reimer came along, Belfour was the best goaltender the Leafs had seen in years.

Belfour is sitting ninth on the Leafs' all-time wins list, and has played less in Toronto than any other player above him. He was the last goalie to take Toronto to the playoffs and was the cornerstone of the Maple Leafs' roster for the years he played there.

He has been the only positive and consistent goalie in Toronto over the last 10 years and was very important to any success, however small, they enjoyed.
